Permission prompt garbles ~/.claude path as ~/.claire
Resolved 💬 4 comments Opened Mar 25, 2026 by nicolassenechal Closed Apr 24, 2026
Bug Description
The permission prompt displayed to users when Claude Code requests to read a file from ~/.claude/ shows the path as ~/.claire/ instead of ~/.claude/.
Steps to Reproduce
- Have Claude Code perform an operation that saves a large tool result to
~/.claude/projects/.../tool-results/ - When a subagent attempts to read that file, the permission prompt displays:
````
Read(~/.claire/projects/-Users-nicolas-projects-wine-twin/689fb31a-258a-493d-bbc9-86e80d8f6dff/tool-results/byuyw3ycj.txt)
- Note the path says
.clairenot.claude
Expected Behavior
The permission prompt should display the correct path: ~/.claude/projects/...
Actual Behavior
The permission prompt displays ~/.claire/projects/...
Verification
ls -la ~/.claire→ NOT FOUNDls -la ~/.claude→ EXISTS (correct directory)- The actual tool call works correctly (uses the right path), only the permission prompt text is wrong
Environment
- macOS (Darwin 24.6.0)
- Claude Code CLI
Notes
This is not a font/rendering issue — the text itself contains .claire when copy-pasted to a plain text editor. The garbling happens in the permission prompt display layer, not in the actual file operations.
